Great song, love it, much prefer the rocksteady version by D Dennis and Pat Rhoden.

A song from your most memorable gig?

Liam Gallagher - Paper Crown

It was on LG's As You Were tour in Brighton 2018 - biblical!!!

A song that always gets you up and dancing?

Madness - The Prince

It’s a great song, for me this is almost 2Tone heaven.

A new song you're listening to? Why do you like this artist?

Amy Winehouse - Back To Black

Not necessarily this song in particular but Amy Winehouse in general, I downloaded an album of hers to see what the hype was all about... and can honestly say she was awesome. RIP Amy.

Best song to turn up loud? And why?

Pink Floyd - Shine On You Crazy Diamond - Live

Not necessarily live but this is 15mins of great music. I've only listened to 1 album of theirs, this was on it and I liked it... the louder, the better.

A song that defines the teenage you? And the memories it evokes?

The Jam - Going Underground

I wasn’t into mod or anything at school but the day it made front page of The Sun newspaper I got talking to a Mod Face about it and I think that was my turning point for life. I’ve always been a mod at heart weather it was '60s stuff or the revival stuff or Ska.

An anthemic song? Why does it get your pulse racing?

The Specials - Gangsters

2Tone anthem. it’s just an awesome tune!! What a tune to start a record label and a genre.

Best song to end an all-nighter?

Oasis - Don't Look Back In Anger

A truly awesome tune guaranteed-to get everyone singing top of their voice in a pub. Love it!!
